Hello everyone

Thats the kind of bookclub I fancy Peacock plenty of gossip and laughter. I work in St Albans no snow here today though!!!! Bloody freezing though.

CG can't get that stuff you mentioned here. There is a new patch thingy you can get called Compeed but I have yet to try it. Just been using the new cream Fentasil that we have here and its useless. My coldsore grew in the night but I think tomorrow it will start drying out as it has stopped throbbing.

My mother couldn't get an appointment today but hopefully tomorrow.
Last night whilst I was round there I said " dad really you should have noticed my mother's swollen leg." he said "girl its years since I looked at your mother's fecking leg those days are gone" My mother just smiled and said "I love you Pat" and she does.

Have a lovely evening Lynne enjoy your meal. Glad everything went ok Sarah at the Post Office.

My day off tomorrow.

Michele

Michelle - Compeed blister stuff is really good, I've never tried the cold sore stuff though because I don't get them.

Lou - I hope I never need an MRI after reading that, I don't fancy the metal in my leg trying to escape!

I'm currently engaged in war for control of the tv remote. Because it's usually just me here I feed all the tvs from one sky box because I can only be in one room at once and it was easier than getting them all set up with terrestrial aerials. Except my father objected to me putting eastenders on which meant that he disappeared from the room I wanted (the warm one with the computer) which only has sky, to the cold room which is the only room with terrestrial. I have the power!

I'm really annoyed about my half results. Apparently there were some issues with number swopping and cheats which means that most people's times are 30 seconds - 2 minutes out. I'm down as 1:50:12 which is still a PB but I want to have 1:49 something because I know that's what the clock said when I finished, and being below one of the round number landmarks is so much nicer than just missing it. Hopefully the times will be adjusted, it says they're provisional pending investigations. Fingers crossed. If not, there's always Blackpool next month I suppose.

I raided the running shop at lunchtime, my grandmother (who is now feeling better) as decided to start distributing the cash reserves she's built up under the mattress (which my grandad doesn't know about), so I got a nice little wedge of notes yesterday. I now have a nice new thermal wicking top and some running gloves

I think it will be an early night tonight, my parents are leaving for the airport at about 5am so I can't imagine I'll get much sleep after about 4. I suppose that means there's no excuse for me being late to the gym in the morning...

Michelle your parents really do sound adorable.

It's cold here, we had a little snow last night but nothing major. I have to go run, another dinner out tonight so I need to have a good afternoon. I think it'll be fish tonight, we're going for Italian.

Sarah-I hope work goes well for you I'm sure you'll do fine.

Helen-I hate that with the times....those minutes mean something to me!!!! It's annoying.

Lou-Hope the MRI results are fine.

Scale is being nice to me this week, I hope that rings true for the end of the week too...I still am up about 1-2 from the holidays.

Afternoon ladies,

MRI's... I had one a few years back, I've had two and didn't like either of them, the first one was in England at Adenbrooks and I felt really alone so decided I would hum to myself which made the time pass, however, I started singing Christmas tunes as it was coming up to Christmas and when they got me out, they applauded me for cheering them up, I didn't realise they could all hear me in their lilttle booth, it was rather embarrassing to say the least. The second one I had done, I had to remove my belly button ring and was terrified I wouldn't get it back in, but I did, and that time I didn't sing, just had horrible thoughts about a fire starting and them not getting me before they all rushed out of a burning building.

Sarah, sounds like you'll be finding your way around the post office in no time my woman, hope you're enjoying yourself...must be nice to have all the village people popping in and out and all the nice village intereaction. At the thought of your hubs in his two layers of thermals, why is it our men don't find themselves funny when we're hysterical at them...I'm always chuckling at Dave, I've only just recently got him wearing colour co-ordinated jumpers, shirts, trousers and shirts...socks too...poor man has no sense of fashion...as both kids pointed out to him in a long ago Christmas picture we found where he's wearing a reindeer jumper

Helen, well done on your race, hope they get their numbers sorted for you soon and you enjoy getting your telly's back... my Mum is a bugger with the telly, she'll put it on and walk away and if you change the channel, she yells from where ever she is, that she was watching that... she used to be able to watch Crossroads years back when she was doing all her marking and stuff for her teacher work....she would be in the dining room with a wall and two closed doors between her and the telly in the lounge, but she was watching it......bless.

Michelle, hope your mum gets her appointment soon and they sort out that leg, bless your Dad and his comments...that's definitely true love I say. My Dad didn't really notice things about my Mum that we all did, but he noticed what he should...he was in love with her and her with him until he died.

Lou, do you have a starting date? And was it a funeral yesterday?

CG, so can you return to exercising and such? Sounds like you're basically on your own with this one then... what did you get in TJ? And what did you have for lunch with hubs?

It was Hannah's birthday yesterday, and the school nurse sent her home at half past eight, and told me I needed to take her to the doctors, so I made an appointment and got one last night, tomorrow I have to take her to have blood work done...she's not happy about it, but I need to have it done too, so we'll go together, she's still not feeling right, so I kept her off today, and hopefully the meds the doc gave which she starts tonight will help sort her out...got your card CG....she says thanks

Jen, that bite sounds nasty, far too big for bed bugs though, they are like little fleabites apparently and bloody itchy, glad yours is going down and that you're able to bend your body parts again. Keep an eye on it though

RSG, get your three pairs of wooly knickers out for Friday luv, the weather says with the wind chill it's going to be minus 10 to minus 20 degrees outiside!!! I shall be going nowhere, I shall stay in my bed...and whinge a lot....I don't like this cold... although our little layer of snow does look nice.

Ok, best go sort some dinner out....take care all, keep warm.

Chris sorry to hear Hannah 's not feeling good. Hope she gets better soon

We had the lunch buffet at the Indian. Another bad choice for me.

I got english crumpets the original and the whole wheat ones, nan bread, pitas, indian relish, pistachios and some nice caramel biscuits.They didn't last long. Wish there was one nearer us.

SNOW! There's SNOW! Unfortunately some miserable so and so decided it would be a good idea to grit the roads. So I'm at work

I had a great lifting time last night, and then kickboxing and then a danish pastry

Stupid scales are up to 12stone 10lbs! I'm 100% sure that it's water retention from the anti-biotics but OOOOOOOOOOOOOOH It's not something a girl wants to see at 6.45am.

We still don't have any hot water (or central heating), but hopefully the man today is coming to fix it! Otherwise I will be showering at the gym! My hair's already greased out but it can last till tonight. (Plus I'm still all sweaty from kickboxing - ick!)

Good morning to you all

Chris how is Hannah today?

Oh it's so cold. We have snow here only a dusting really but they say more is on the way. I really need to go out and stock up on a whole load of healthy bits and pieces. I'm hugely disappointed about that gym but as I could have been there today if my induction had not been cancelled.

What a downer about the run Helen. I know what you mean about remote control I have been banished to the cold kitchen from time to time when Martin and eldest boy want to watch footie on the big screen in the warm living room on Sky.

Redsox girl have a lovely meal you've a great social life. I have a party to go to Friday which I am looking forward to I intend have a few vodkas and a good old dance.

Right I really should move myself.

Stay warm everyone

Michele

No snow here at the moment, although there was some at about 11 last night, but it had gone by the time I got up. I hope it isn't too icy for running club tonight, particularly as one of the stretches of the route I think we're doing is particularly badly lit. Not fun if it's slippy!

Sarah - I found some of those cherry and cinnamon tea bags today, I hope they're as good as you said!

I've just spent lunchtime working out my marathon training plan. I think I've got it worked out now, I've found 3 more races to enter (13.1, 15 and 20 miles) to make sure that I actually do the right distances on those days, a couple of long runs to do on my own, and it all looks fairly sensible even though I'm writing my own plan this time rather than following a strict training schedule.

I'm cold, tired, unmotivated and mildly injured, down in the dumps and I've lost the plot, but I still went to the gym!

I did dips and pull-ups and treadmill work with intervals and inclines and 10 mins on the bike. I feel marginally more human now, but I still want to go to bed

Awwwww Frus I'm sure tomorrow will be better. I know it sounds strange but the earlier I weigh myself the heavier I am.
